IDK if this had been a case with me there might have been another side to it. If I had driven someone home from another friends house and had their father start chunking things at me, I would have fought back. I wonder how many of you "ohh if this were my daughter" people would feel if he had beaten the father down, would he have been justified. How would you guys feel about an asshole who doesn't realize the extent of his own rights. He has right to be pissed off but that is it, once he initiates an attack on me, it is my right to defend myself and/or anyone who he is also thretenenig physically. Are either circumstanse right? NO I would say not. I have only one thing really working for me and that is that physically I am a big guy, and I can take a hell of a lot of hits before going down. So I guess my perspective is a bit off, it does however sound like amd was trying to vent his hurt pride by thinking about the report, I think he realized it wasn't that bad. But seriously if someone attacked me for no reason but that I was taking his daughter home late he would have a serious altercation to deal with, now I am not being all mocho I mught lose but I would go down with a fight. It is just that it doesn't sound like he was dating/fornicating with the mans daughter.
